I was only attempting to protect the user program's arguments and for
that the -ON currently don't matter, but I understand what you mean
about design-for-the-future and maintenance.

I did forget --compile-dependencies, which in ikarus.main.ss uses the
arguments after its script name.

ikarus.main.ss already does that.

I agree a less-maintenance-required solution would be nicer, but how
could it be done?
